Re: [beam] Re: 555 timer

Hi Myc and Steve,

i think that i am one of the "old timers" and i love this 555 timer, too.
i made a simple solar engine with the cmos version. the trigger voltage is
about 2.6 V.
the current during loading is about 60µA or less.

have fun

manfred

BTW: Wilf, your flasher is hard to beat :-) ! great.

I don't know about the rest of the "old timers" but I love the 555. My first robot was built with two of them (as light-sensitive PWM motor controllers). I...

Pure BEAM and one of the simplest 555 circuits that does something useful! Sub a 2N2222 for higher current. Attached is an even simpler phototropic version...

And then again, an even bolder simpler solution. The 555 normally has an active high output which can source 10ma when high. But the 555 output can sink 100ma...

Here is a slightly revised version that looks and feels more like a grounded bicore. Your original design was a master slave design with the two outputs...
